[QUOTE="Zev, post: 753627, member: 49151"] Many, many years ago (the 70s), I was using the Olympus OM2N. Great camera, had 4 bodies, all with motor winders, 4 flashes all with power grips, and tons of other Olympus gear. Then the new electronic version came out, the OM2SP. Stupidly, I got rid of my 4 reliable OM2N bodies, and bought 4 of the newer model - DISASTER! They were constantly breaking down. It was a good week when I only had 2 in for repairs. So I sold all of my Olympus gear and went into every pro camera shop, and asked "What is more reliable, Nikon or Canon?" And except for one shop that specialised in Canon, everyone said Nikon, hands down. I bought an F3, then I had 4x F801 bodies, SB24, SB25 & SB28 flashs, then I upgraded all to the F100. Best camera I have ever used. Before I bought my first digital Nikon, used a borrowed Canon for a few weeks, and hated it. Buying Nikon was a no brainer. Absolutely thrilled with the D7200 - I now have 2 of them, both gripped. My partner uses my old D3200 (removed the grip - too big for her small hands) And my ancient D50 is now just used for Ebay photos. [/QUOTE]
